In this episode, our host Daniel Nickles discusses his personal ultimate risk tolerance test. He shares his experience of starting out as an investor, feeling a lot of resistance when it came to taking action and making offers on deals. He realized that fear of the unknown and the risk involved were holding him back. To overcome this, he developed a risk tolerance test consisting of one question that provided clarity and helped him move forward. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing uncertainty and confusion and responding with either a firm "no" or diving deeper to gain a better understanding. He cautions against doing nothing and highlights the potential negative consequences of avoiding decision-making. Additionally, he mentions that the fear of missing out on a deal should not overshadow the fact that there will always be more opportunities in the future. Finally, he warns that the habit of doing nothing can extend beyond investing and impact other areas of life, ultimately hindering personal growth.

Investing in short-term rentals can help diversify your investment portfolio.

Leslie Ann Morris began her investment journey in Smokey Mountain while earning an MBA from the University of Southern California and working as a commercial banker in Los Angeles. For over twenty years, Leslie has helped high-profile clients like SpaceX and negotiated a $50 million private-equity deal. She applies the same underwriting strategy to building her growing real estate portfolio. In addition, she is sharing her playbook to encourage others to do the same, creating passive income from short-term rentals.

From the moment she closed her first investment cabin in 2019, she knew she had made the right choice. The cash flow allowed her to quickly grow her portfolio to double digits and a value of $7 million in less than three years. In addition, Leslie fell in love with Tennessee and moved there in 2020. She quickly founded two sister companies: a real estate acquisition company, Invest in the Smoky Mountains, and Josh's Cabins Management, a full-service property management company. Her one-stop store allows out-of-state investors to create passive income by offering concierge-style services to guests without the hassle of self-management.

Financial freedom is important if you want to create wealth because it means living in a place of financial peace. When you have financial freedom, you have choices.

Matt Hansen is the founder of Hansen Holdings, which is dedicated to providing busy professionals with access to proven, income-producing real estate investment opportunities that not only protect against recession but also create wealth and security for generations to come. Matt's journey to financial freedom began with financial loss. During the Great Recession, his 401K decreased by more than $300,000. At the time of the crash, 100% of his retirement funds were invested in the stock market. At the time, he was the director of the Global Supply Chain at a large chemical company, and all of his retirement savings were locked into his 401K. Matt felt a lack of control over his finances, security, and future when faced with the volatility of the stock market. Matt now invests in more than 2,200 multifamily units across the U.S. and enjoys the passive income, wealth, and security they provide. By diversifying his retirement portfolio and reducing his exposure to stock market volatility, he has gained financial freedom.

In this episode, Matt will share the details of his transition to real estate investing. In addition, he will talk about investment strategies and passive investing and advise on finding potential investors.

Despite the excellent salary he was receiving through his medical practice, Pranay realized that if he wanted to give the life he wanted for his family, he wouldn’t be able to get it by working for the next 30 to 40 years. He knew he had to do something else and picked real estate. So, he bought his first four-unit multifamily. It was doing pretty well, and he thought he would buy one a year and retire in ten years. But after his first one, he spent hours looking for his next one. It took so much effort that he thought he should have just been working, making a good salary, and picking up extra shifts. This situation led him to real estate syndication, which allows him to invest passively, where he gets 98% of the benefit with 2-5% of the work. If you want to learn more about passive investing in real estate, tune in to this episode with your host, Daniel Nickles.

Are you looking for another investment with a faster return than the usual ones? Join Daniel Nickles and Don Spafford as they talk about an investment with a higher and faster return. Don shares about how he started as someone who followed traditional investment and retirement plans to someone doing various forms of real estate investment; and finally to someone who looked for an investment with a higher and faster return. Tune in to learn more about how this fun and unique investment brings you faster to achieving financial freedom.

Outline of the episode…

His Real Estate journey
The difference between RV resorts from RV parks
Amenities offered in RV resort
Unique benefits of investing in campground syndication

About Don Spafford…

Don has a strong educational background in finance and investing. He graduated Cuma Sum Laude from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He graduated with quadruple majors in Finance, Banking, Investment Science and Portfolio Management, and Accounting. He studied for both the CFA and CPA exams. He has worked for over 18 years in the financial securities industry. He followed the traditional plan of saving and investing for retirement through traditional retirement accounts and some fun stock investing where he has done relatively well. But knew that he would likely never reach his financial goals that way.

He began understanding Real Estate as an alternative investment vehicle around 2010 when his wife became a Realtor. He read books and researched how to do it. It wasn’t until his family moved to South East Idaho in 2015 when he finally got serious about it after realizing that it was the short cut to financial independence. He bought his first small multi-family property in 2017 and began to quickly scale after that. Within a few years he achieved greater wealth than what he ever thought would have been possible when he first started.

Don started doing some ground-up development projects in early 2021 with partnerships as well as syndicating large apartment building developments. While pursuing other value-add multi-family opportunities he was not satisfied with the low, average returns he was seeing offered. He began searching for something better.

Don heard about RV Campgrounds as an investment option. Realizing that he lives within 90 minutes of Yellowstone Park, and many other National Parks within a relatively short drive, he saw that there was a huge opportunity with campgrounds. Soon after he met Adam Lendi and partnered with Happy Camper Capital and is now thrilled to provide great, high-income opportunities to others who seek financial freedom with something fun.

Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Jim Pfeifer as they talk about what teaching finance taught him, his process of finding and screening sponsors, his take on the vitality of communication, and his thoughts on speculating vs. investing. As a rule of thumb, for Jim, 95% of any investor's resources should be invested in hard assets.

Jim is a former financial advisor who became frustrated with the one-path-fits-all approach of the standard financial services industry. Jim now concentrates on investing in real assets that produce cash flow and is committed to sharing his knowledge with others who are interested in learning a different way to grow wealth. Jim not only advises and helps people get started in passive real estate syndications, he also invests alongside them in small groups to allow for diversification among multiple investments and syndication sponsors.

Jim believes the most important factor in a successful syndication is finding a sponsor that he knows, likes, and trusts. He has invested in over 45 passive syndications including apartments, mobile homes, self-storage, private lending and notes, ATM’s, commercial and industrial triple net leases, assisted living facilities and international coffee farms and cacao producers.

Jim is constantly looking for new investment ideas that match his philosophy of real assets producing cash flow as well as looking for new sponsors with whom he can build quality, long-term relationships.

Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Taylor Loht as he shares what he learned to be the most effective strategy for becoming a successful passive real estate investor. Before investing in real estate, Taylor belonged in the world of banking and consulting. But he didn't want his whole life to be there. Taylor talks about the books that pushed him to invest, why he thinks good investing should be boring, the red flags to take note of as passive investors, and why having FOMO is a danger to investing.

In this episode you will learn:

Once you dive into real estate, you'll know how much you didn't know
Taylor Loht on the shiny object syndrome
You can lose money on anything
What passive investors should watch out for the most in syndication
It's ok when you don't feel ok about a deal

About Taylor Loht:

Taylor is on a mission to teach Busy Professionals how they can invest in real estate without dealing with tenants, toilets, and termites. He highlights and distills the knowledge, experiences, and lessons of expert real estate investors through his podcast, YouTube Channel, and email newsletter Passive Wealth Strategies for Busy Professionals.

His goal is to help his listeners and investors build lives of abundance. He believes that building passive streams of income is the best path to wealth generation, not the typical, boring, "Don't have that $4 latte you enjoy twice a week." Enjoy your latte and buy some property!

He has partnered in over $50 million in Multifamily and Self Storage investments, as both a General Partner with his company NT Capital LLC, and Passive Investor through tax-advantaged retirement accounts. He invests remotely and never deals directly with tenants.

Taylor lives in Richmond, Virginia, where he started and runs the monthly Richmond Multifamily Investors Meetup, trains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and actively contributes to BiggerPockets.

Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Erik Oliver as we discuss how cost segregation frees up your liquidity and improve cash flow as a real estate investor. As the cost segregation expert that he is, Erik gives us a detailed overview of what cost segregation could mean for anyone investing in real estate. In his own simple terms, cost segregation is basically just your property's appreciation on high speed. Erik explains what cost segregation means, what bonus depreciation is in relation to cost segregation, and the basics of cost segregation for newly closed deals.

In this episode you will learn:

Cost segregation increases the benefits you get by owning real estate
Bonus depreciation is cost segregation on steroids
You don't have to do cost segregation right after buying a property
The documents necessary for cost segregation
What questions to ask a cost segregation expert

About Erik Oliver:

Erik Oliver is the marketing director of Cost Segregation Authority.

Cost Segregation is used by commercial building owners to increase cash flow by accelerating depreciation. Depending on the type of building, there can be anywhere from 20 to 35% and sometimes more of the depreciable basis that can accelerated, translating into tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in current year tax savings. Consider the value of having and being able to use those tax dollars today vs. spreading them out over 27.5 or 39 years.

Cost Segregation can be used at pretty much anytime during the cycle of building ownership, including new construction, current acquisitions, previous acquisitions going back as much as ten or fifteen years, large improvement projects, following a step in basis from a change of ownership or estate transfer, and sometimes even at disposition to offset some of a capital gain.

Cost Segregation is an engineering-based analysis of a building's interior, exterior and land improvements in order to identify, measure and quantify assets that are considered personal property or land improvements under the federal tax code. Those assets are then re-classifying in order to accelerate their depreciation.

Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen as they talk about what infinite banking proves to be in the face of IRAs and financial planning. After the 2008 crisis, what typical financial advisors tell their clients just began to lose its charm for the two. In this episode, Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen summarize what Rich Dad Poor Dad, and Becoming Your Own Banker is all about and why the infinite banking concept is not as complicated as it seems.

In this episode you will learn:

After 2008, the typical financial advice just didn't work
What is financial freedom?
If you can understand a rewards credit card, you can understand IBC
The problem with IRAs
About the course, Infinite Wealth Course

About Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen:

Anthony Faso and Cameron Christiansen are founders of Infinite Wealth Consultants and hosts of the Infinite Wealth Podcast. A proud U.S. Army veteran and self-described "recovering" CPA, Anthony has worked at the world's largest accounting firm and served as CFO of a chain of restaurants. However, after the 2008 recession, he realized that the solution to financial freedom would never be found in the latest Wall Street-created financial product.

As he was discovering what his path to financial independence would look like, he was also teaching and coaching individuals and business owners about money and investing. Having been a small business owner for eight years, Cameron was frustrated with investment solutions proposed by traditional financial advisors.

This frustration is what led him to discover infinite banking and real estate investing. After advising others for over a decade, Cameron now brings his expertise in passive income generation and cash flow analysis to his partnership with Anthony. As followers of the principles of Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Anthony, and Cameron help their clients to be financially independent.

Not just in dollars, but also in a sense. They educate clients on making sound financial decisions and coach them on investing in assets that have certainty, control, and collateral. Infinite Wealth clients are not subject to the roller coaster of the stock market.

About Denis Shapiro:

After graduating with a BBA and MBA from Baruch College in New York City, Denis Shapiro began working for the U.S. Government in a career that he proudly built for over a decade. In his various roles with the government, Denis served as a liaison to the public and various state agencies and gained a unique view of the importance of portfolio allocation and management.

Denis began investing in real estate in 2012 when the market was just beginning to recover from the global financial crisis. He went on to build a cash-flowing portfolio that includes many alternative assets, such as note and ATM funds, mobile home parks, life insurance policies, tech start-ups, industrial property, short-term rentals, and more. He also co-founded an investment club for accredited investors in 2019. Leveraging these successes and the lessons learned throughout his career, Denis launched SIH Capital Group, an alternative investment fund that provides accredited investors with a simplified strategy to invest for passive income.

Denis' book, The Alternative Investment Almanac: Expert Insights on Building Personal Wealth in Non-Traditional Ways, is based on his personal experiences, supplemented by interviews with some of the best alternative asset investors in the business today.

Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Bill Ham as he explains what makes up a good real estate deal and the factors to watch out for in the current market cycle. Today, Bill shares how he entered real estate investing after leaving his stellar job as a pilot. Since joining his house-flipping friends, Bill now has hundreds of units under his portfolio, which he mainly acquired through creative financing. Here, Bill discusses the basics of seller financing and how creative financing applies to large properties.

In this episode you will learn: ⦁ Why Bill chose to leave his job as a pilot ⦁ Good Deals: 90% the seller, 10% the property ⦁ Tips that tell you we're going in a down cycle ⦁ What to be careful about in the current market cycle ⦁ Why you shouldn't overspend on a property

About Bill Ham: In 2005, Bill quit his job as a corporate pilot and went into real estate full time. He closed only one deal. A duplex. It was cash flowing about $300 a month. He started his entire real estate career with this one duplex and a life savings of $10,000. For Bill, it wasn't much.

Bill's first 402 units were completed with some form of creative financings such as seller financing and master lease options. Over the years, he built a large portfolio of real estate consisting mostly of apartments. Bill built a management company that operated the portfolio. At the peak, that company was comprised of 16 employees and managed over 1000 units. Over the years, he had many successes and many failures. Some small and some big. Bill has made a lot of money and has also lost a lot of it. He has seen all phases of the market. The upcycles and the down. The good times and the bad. He has survived them all. Knowledge and skills are only passed on by those who survive.

Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Bronson Hill as he explains what real financial freedom looks like, how investing in multifamily reacts to inflation, and why you can't print your way to prosperity. During COVID, Bronson didn't know what to expect as an investor, but as the author of The Single Best Investment Strategy During (and After) a Pandemic, tune into Bronson as he speaks about why multifamily properties are the absolute best place to park your hard-earned cash in.

In this episode you will learn:

Bronson Hill – when is the right time to leave a great job?
The Law of the First Deal and Its Influence
Multifamily is a hedge against inflation!
Why should you pay attention to inflation rates?
What are the five (5) major benefits of investing in multifamily?

About Bronson Hill:

Bronson Hill bought his first rental house in 2006 and rented it out when he moved two years later. After refinancing and getting $400 a month in cash flow, he was amazed. Later, Bronson started buying houses in Ohio, and his plan was to buy at least 30 homes, replace his income, and experience financial freedom.

He reconnected with a family member who owned many multifamily apartments who told him, "Your plan sounds like a lot of work! Also, everyone I know that has done multifamily wishes that they started sooner. Why don't you just do multifamily?"

That led to Bronson starting a multifamily meetup group in the city where he lives (Pasadena, CA) and partnering with an experienced syndicator (one who raises money to buy apartment buildings or other assets). He contributed with some of the diligence and raising capital. Being a multifamily syndicator is something Bronson is proud of, and he loves helping others start investing in this asset class.

The advantages of better returns, lower risk, tax advantages, and passive income make multifamily syndication the best investment available.

Join Daniel Nickles with his guest Whitney Elkins-Hutten as she talks about the questions you need to ask yourself before investing in rentals, the mindset that helps you elevate yourself as an investor, and whether or not you can run a portfolio of passive investments like a business. For both Whitney and Daniel, letting go of control as an investor truly is a challenge. Although for Whitney, no matter how hard it is, what will help you invest passively with sound and informed decisions is the level of due diligence you're willing to take.

In this episode you will learn:

Whitney Elkins-Hutten – on discovering cash flow from rentals
Three questions to get started on real estate investing
What are strengths, and what are gifts?
What a business owner essentially earns
Can you manage passive investments like a business?

About Whitney Elkins-Hutten:

The beginning of Whitney's real estate career went better than most—her first-ever rental in 2002 was a huge success. It was on her second deal that she almost lost it all. Those two experiences shaped Whitney's real estate journey into what it is today. Knowing there had to be a right way and that success always leaves clues, she studied the greatest real estate juggernauts and replicated the personal finance and wealth creation strategies that they used to create financial freedom.

Since that first rental, Whitney partnered in over $700M+ of real estate — including over 5000+ residential units (MF, MHP, SFR, and assisted living) and more than 1400+ self-storage units across 7 states — and experienced flipping over $3M in residential real estate. Still, reaping the rewards of her hard work isn't enough for her. Whitney wants to help people discover what she did—the real estate knowledge that will give them financial freedom.

That's why Whitney started ASH Wealth (ashwealth.com) in 2018 and launched her real estate mentorship program, the Investor Accelerator Mentorship Program. Through the IAMP, she helps budding real estate investors develop a clear, workable plan that gives them the results they dream of, solves their startup or scaling issues, and drives massive progress towards not only their real estate and financial goals… but their lifestyle goals.

Join Daniel Nickles with guest Eric Martel, the Founder of MartelTurnkey, as he talks about how different investment vehicles fit each individual differently, the everyday challenges of financial freedom to people, how beginners can find mentors, and about his book, Stop Trading Your Time for Money. When Eric was in college, he was amazed how his regular community college teacher could own a 36-unit apartment building and plan on building a shopping mall. Having that kind of testament in front of him, Eric knew there was something to passive investing.

In this episode you will learn:

Finding Mentors: First, look close and near.

Converting corporate pension plans to retirement saving plans

The Strategy Alignment Triangle

The Investment Quadrant

About the company Martel Turnkey

About Eric Martel:

Eric Martel is a Real Estate Investor, Entrepreneur, Author, and Speaker. He has purchased his first apartment building at just 18 years of age while still at university. After graduation, in his position as an actuary, Eric was dismayed to see hundreds of company pension plans being rolled over into 401(k)s, shifting the retirement risk to employees.

This made him reconsider traditional beliefs about retirement savings. It also made him question his role as an actuary, so he joined the lucrative technology industry. A few years later, he lost a fortune during the dot-com crash of 2001, and he started looking for ways to earn passive income and stop trading time for money.

Eric started various businesses, including a gourmet sauce company, but eventually returned to his first love of real estate investing and formed MartelTurnkey. After just four years of rapid success, he was able to retire from his day job. Now Eric wants to share what he's learned, so people don't make the same mistakes he did.

Join Daniel Nickles and Chris Thompson with their guest Lisa Hylton as they talk about how to build a passive income through tax-efficient real estate investment, how her 1st investment performed in the face of COVID, and how passive and active investors can make use of the Fund to Funds Model. When she was in college, Lisa lost her father to a brain tumor. But despite the hardships, they were able to take care of the family because of her father's multi-unit apartments as a contractor that they run up until now. Her father's legacy instilled in Lisa a seed of investing that she has nourished and grown today.

In this episode you will learn:

Lisa's father being a contractor, allowed what for their family?
How the 1st investment weathered the pandemic in a strong Atlanta area.
What is the Fund to Funds Model?
The Fund to Funds Model: Pros and Cons for Investors.
Should passive investors adjust their due diligence process when using the FTF Model?

About Lisa Hylton:

Despite growing up around real estate, Lisa didn't fully understand the value of investing in real estate until her last position working as a controller on private equity real estate funds. The experience ignited her desire to invest in real estate, and she discovered real estate syndications in 2019.

After investing passively in 4 private real estate investments as a passive investor and one private real estate investment as a general partner, Lisa was inspired and motivated to build a business that could provide opportunities to non-institutional investors to invest in private commercial real estate opportunities.

Fast forward 2 years, a combination of passive investing and strategically saving has enabled Lisa to gift herself the time to focus on building a business that allows her to work with dream clients, successful but busy entrepreneurs, and business owners who are looking for a partner to invest in real estate with.

Join Daniel Nickles and Chris Thompson, with their guest Jeff Anzalone, as they talk about debt reduction and how a doctor can balance his time and energy with real estate investing. As the founder of www.debtfreedr.com, Dr. Jeff talks about how doctors, and people in general, can get out of debt with basic investing. For him, when reducing debt, a game of psychology becomes a big component. In this episode, listen as Dr. Jeff Anzalone shares more about DebtFreeDr., how investing doctors can keep burnout away, and how he got rid of a debt he thought would last him 10 years to pay in only under 7 years.

In this episode you will learn:

The story behind the doctor-real estate investor
Applying Dave Ramsey's Principles: Starting with the smallest debt
Instead of assessing only your wins, ask: "Where did I fail?"
The pain points of doctors that passive investing can help address
How can a doctor find the time and energy to juggle real estate?

About Dr. Jeff Anzalone:

Dr. Jeff Anzalone is a periodontist in Louisiana. A few short years ago, he started to worry about his family's financial future. As a solo practitioner, he thought about how if something happened to him, no other income would be coming in. He asked, “What if I became injured? Became disabled? What if burnout started to set in?”.

These concerns made Dr. Jeff take a hard look at his financial future and realized that something needed to be done. Most doctors have only one source of income, their earned income from working and that includes Dr. Jeff. Now he's learned how to build multiple passive income streams so that slowly but surely, he's replacing his active income each year.

One day, Dr. Jeff looked up and realized that he was keeping all of this newfound information to himself, whereas most of it had been given to him in some form or fashion. This sparked him to start his blog to share the word to other doctors and high-income earners that you can truly stop trading time for money and start living your life on your own terms.

Join Daniel Nickles and Chris Thompson, with their guest Billy Keels, as they talk about how he makes it all work as a real estate investor in the US all the way from Europe. After reading, or should we say devouring, the world-famous purple book on investing, Billy was surprised by the possibilities of his money working for him. As a long-distance real estate investor, it'd be the team for Billy if anything is his make or break. In this episode, Billy shares the possibilities that passive investing allows investors and the four elements to make long-distance real estate investing more successful.

In this episode you will learn:

Not seeing myself in a nine-to-five life after traveling to 58 countries for work.
The Purple Book: What can I do to actually have control over my financial life?
On making the first long-distance investment happen.
The four elements that fasten your ROS (Return on Sleep).
What possibilities does passive investing open?

About Billy Keels:

Before becoming a real estate entrepreneur, KeePon Cashflow's founder Billy Keels worked in the corporate world. During his corporate career, Billy put his leadership and relationship-building skills to good use to help clients get to the root of issues that were holding them back from full success. Billy earned his stripes as a true problem-solver, a skill he carried into his new entrepreneurial life.

What made him popular with employers who sent him across the globe to meet with Fortune 500-level clients is the same thing that makes him popular with investors, buyers, and sellers in real estate today… his skills in coming up with real solutions that work in the real world for real people!

Billy says that he was happy enough in his J.O.B., but something was missing. An emptiness and longing for a different life chewed on him, pulling him to what he knew he wanted to do more than anything else. So he took steps and kept on the path to his goals. KeePon Cashflow is the result of his efforts.

Today Billy is an international real estate entrepreneur, problem-solver, author, coach, and mentor. He sees opportunities where others often don't in real estate.

Join Daniel Nickles and Chris Thompson with their guest, Mike Morawski, as they talk about success, losses, and redemption in the real estate business. He also talks about his book that teaches real estate investors about the vital part of a deal no one talks about. If there is one word to describe Mike, it would be tenacious. In this episode, Mike shares his experience selling 78 houses in his first 9 months into real estate; all by relentlessly following fundamentals, basic techniques, and mastered repetition. As the author of the book Exit Plan – Mike also elaborates in this episode what one should learn to do in a deal's highest point of profit.

In this episode you will learn:

On house hacking before it was cool
Real Estate Saying: "It's either they listed with me, or they're dead."
From going to prison to redeeming my success
The book 'Exit Plan' – "Nobody teaches us about exiting deals."
How can investors put exit strategies into play?

About Mike Morawski:

Michael "Mike" Morawski is a 30+ year real estate investment veteran. He has controlled over $285,000,000 in real estate transactions. Mike is an entrepreneur, author, real estate trainer, public speaker, and personal coach with strong personal resilience and a deep desire to help others live an extraordinary life. He has coached hundreds of real estate investors to fulfill their dreams.

Michael began as a general contractor in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago with $5 mm in annual revenue. He sold his company and then took some time off to decide what to do next. Michael entered the real estate industry as a sales agent building a team of agents and support staff that produced over $20 mm per year in sales production.

In 2005, Michael started a private equity firm, raising $18 mm in private equity and acquired $60 mm in multi-family apartments, including 4,000 units in five different US markets. As part of the company's growth, Mike built and developed a property management division that managed 7,500 units.

Mike has always believed that transparency and honesty are central to any successful business and personal life. As a result of the 2008 world economic crisis, Mike let his guard down and let his transparency slip. The impact that had on his company and its real estate holdings left him scrambling to protect the company and its investors.

Adam is also an authority on the acquisition and disposition of SFR portfolios nationwide.

He has firmly proven that by changing what we think, we can directly impact what we do and what ends up showing to the rest of the world.

In this episode you will learn:

Lots of money, no satisfaction.
Be very clear on what you want.
View your challenges as opportunities.
The difference between a mentor and a coach.
Where real change happens…

About Steven Pesavento:

Steven is from a small town in Minnesota. He wanted to be two things growing up: A Chef like Emerald Lugosi or renovate houses like Bob Villa. He graduated from St. Johns University in 2011 and took his first real job in Management Consulting. It was a great way to start, but there was no passion for it. Steven doubled his salary with every new job but realized that chasing money wasn't the key to happiness.

After many industries and a few businesses later, he had to get back to the core desires: What do I want in my life? Real estate was a topic that kept surfacing. So he took the leap. He listened to every podcast, book, mentor, and speaker he could find. He needed to learn everything he could as fast as he could. Two years after starting, Steven bought and sold 200 properties in two states.

He renovated many of them and built a wonderful team, all working towards one mutual success. He has found a new mission in life: Help others live a better life every day, have fun, and make money.

Join Daniel Nickles and Chris Thompson with their guest Susan Elliott of Flowstate Investing. They talk about what notes are, note investing, performing and non-performing notes, and how notes greatly diversify investing strategies. In this episode, Susan shares how her expertise with kayaking equipped her with skills she was able to transfer to real estate investing. Particularly with notes –a niche that has helped her team discretely provide impact and value to persons and families. Where buyers struggle to pay their mortgage, Flowstate Investing comes in to purchase notes, refinancing strategies, restructure payment plans, etc. For Susan, being a notes investor is almost like being a bank.

About Susan Elliott:

After a decade spent as an international whitewater kayak instructor, Susan discovered the hidden world of Performing and Non-Performing Notes and their incredible wealth-building potential. With Flow State Investing, she helps other investors get more time back and build passive cash flow to pursue their bucket list instead of the next rung in the career ladder.

Susan thrives on communicating intimidating and detailed plans to anyone. She accredits this skill to years working as an adventure guide as well as a River Restoration Engineer. From presenting a detailed financial model to leading a team down a remote river canyon, she seeks to connect with individuals in a way that helps them realize their own strengths.

Today, she helps connect investors with amplified returns through Note partnerships and investments so that they never have to become a landlord (a role she also currently plays and is strategizing her exit plan). Susan also co-manages a suite of Short Term Rental properties in the epic Columbia River Gorge.

Join Daniel Nickles and Chris Thompson with their guest Kaylee McMahon, the Founder of the Shevest App and The Apartment Queen, as they talk about tractions, proactivity, and the habits that weaken a woman's influence and image.

On the potential repercussions of eviction moratoriums.
Behind forming one billion shevestors (female investors) by 2030.

About Kaylee McMahon:

Kaylee has purchased over 68.2 million in real estate as a General Partner and principal. She sold over 3 million dollars in residential real estate before transitioning into her current full-time syndication role. Originally from Portland, Oregon, host of InvestHER Dallas. She has started a podcast called #1 Leading Ladies, where she interviews kick-ass women who are disrupting their industry and the REAL story of how they got where they are. She is developing technology to help make it easy and convenient for women to learn how to make passive income through apartment investing.

The entire backbone of what gets Kaylee out of bed every day is her "why." This is something she will share when asked personally about it. Still, at a 30,000-foot view, it is to create independence and space for those experiencing codependency and toxic relationships, which hamper their ability to visualize and then manifest what their amazing reality truly could be. Her company culture models this why and is "changing the face of multifamily" to bring more women into the light as powerhouse operators, key principals, and commercial brokers.

Join Daniel Nickles and Chris Thompson with their guest Shannon Robnett, CEO of Shannon Robnett Industries, as they discuss the vogue towards syndication and real estate in general. In this episode, Shannon explains how there isn’t a single asset class that gives the tax advantages and behaves in a manner like real estate does. The fact that there is always more people that have ten bucks than those with a million is one reason why syndication, for Shannon, is for everbody. Get to hear all of those and more as you tune in to the episode with us.

In this episode you will learn:

The habit of creating value for people.
What makes syndication great and why should you try it?
Stock Market vs. Real Estate Syndication.
The difference of being in control of your assets.
What it takes to be a realtor?

About Shannon Robnett:

Shannon has been in the real estate industry for over 40 years. He has been involved from start to finish on over $200,000,000 in construction projects covering the gamut from multi family, professional office buildings to City hall's, fire and police stations, schools, industrial and mini storage.

Shannon says that there is phenomenal growth in just building, filling, and selling a product. Shannon further explains that his operation is different than most because he is looking for syndication partners that are seeking tax-advantaged situations and his main clients are using IRAs to invest; not clients looking for small monthly cash flow investments.

Another reason Shannon is different is that the majority of the projects are ground up developments. Shannon and his team have streamlined the ground up process making it a much more lucrative product to invest in. His team also completely rehabs a building,from pipes, roof, window, paint,everything that will keep these rehab investments profitable for 10+ years.
